I am so fed up with the argument "Don't address problems on the left coz it feeds the right." It isn't enough to point out the problems on the other side & call people names for voting for them. Isn't this clear yet? To get elected, the left needs to be credible & respectworthy.

It's just terrible psychology to think that acknowledging and addressing problems within your own side makes it appear less credible to the waverers who could be persuaded to vote for it. That's what makes it credible.

I’m sometimes skeptical at the existence of this near robot-like middle group that’s still undecided about whether or not they want to vote for someone who rips families apart at the border and openly incites violence at rallies

And yet you'll have noticed that the Democrats got in last time but the Republicans this time. Clearly people shifted and shifting them back is the only way to win elections and effect change. No reason to think they're robots.

I honestly don’t know what’s going on Helen. Trump has a 47% approval rating despite his overt fascist tendencies and violence towards journalists. I’m lost. I like Beto O’Rourke because he speaks well and it seems people always value that over substance.

There's a whole different narrative going on. That's the whole problem and the cause of the disconnect.
